Chapter 796: Imprisonment 56

is true"Feng Aotien was a warrior, but even so, he could understand her words. She was using tea as a metaphor for herself, thinking about how she had once been cold to him, and now she didn't intend..."My lord, please rest assured, I would even give my life to protect the safety of the princess. Please, my lord, have no worries."

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes full of tenderness, such a smile, he really wanted to protect.

"My lord, I dare to speak a word, hoping you will enlighten me."

Dugu Cheng didn't retract his gaze, faintly saying, "Ask whatever you want."

"Is the master of Tianxianglou and the King the same person"

Dugu Cheng heard Xiaoli's question, retracted his gaze, looked at Xiaoli staring at his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Why would you have such doubts"

"Chu Xi, night is longing."

Xiaoli fell silent for a while before continuing, "I didn't notice any similarities at first. But that night, the owner of Tianxiang Building went to the princess's room in the middle of the night and knocked out my servant girl. When I woke up, the princess said it was the owner of Tianxiang Building, and we soon returned to Beijing. Coupled with Chu Xi's attitude towards the princess along the way, and the frequent appearance of the owner of Tianxiang Building, I guessed that the king and the owner of Tianxiang Building were the same person."

Dugu City looked at Xiaoli, the smile on his face grew even wider.

Xiao Li looked at the smile on the king's lips and became even more certain that the owner of Tianxiang Lou and the king were the same person. Otherwise, how could the king hear that the owner of Tianxiang Lou appeared in the queen's room at three o'clock in the middle of the night and not be jealous

"Did Xier also know"

Xiao Li was taken aback and quickly replied, "Your Highness doesn't know yet, but with your intelligence and wisdom, I believe you'll find out soon enough."

"Consider this question as if you never asked it, understand"

Xiao Li responded, "This servant understands. Your Highness please rest assured."

Dugu Cheng walked towards Feng Lingxi, Xiao Li covered her chest. The king actually admitted it, she really didn't expect it. The king even hid it from his wife. However, in this way, the king and his wife being together would be more well-suited.

The master of Tianxianglou, who was secretly the royal prince, and Yaozu Shengzhu's wife, Xiao Li's face had recovered its clear eyes like a young girl. Looking at the princess and the prince standing together, her little face was full of determination.

She would guard the princess, and she wouldn't care who was watching as long as it wasn't her.

Feng Lingxi looked at her grandfather, who had lost again, with a hint of helplessness.

"I'm done, this is too boring."

Feng Cangkai hurriedly set up the chessboard, anxiously looking at Feng Lingxi, "No, no, I haven't won a single game, you can't do this to me."

"You lose again."

She let him win, but grandpa still couldn't beat her. She really didn't want to play anymore.

"Xier, let's play another round with Grandpa."

When he heard Dugu City call him Grandpa, Feng Cangkai's face was full of smiles. He pulled Dugu City to sit in his place. "Your Highness Four arrived just in time, you help me win, you must win Xier, this girl, just let me win once."

Feng Lingxi looked at her grandfather's mischievous personality, the corner of her lip twitched slightly, "Grandpa, I have always let you win. It's just that you can't win."

With a helpless tone laced with a hint of pride, Feng Cangkai came on strong.

"I don't care, I just have to win one round."

Dugu City smiled and said, "Xi'er, then let this king try your chess skills. We have been married for so long, but this king doesn't know if you can play chess."

Feng Lingxi's movements froze slightly, looking at Dugu Cheng's smile. Feng Lingxi's eyes dodged a little. She and her grandfather had played too happily, forgetting that the original owner of this body was a fool who had been foolish for ten years. How could she play chess

"I just learned it when I was playing chess with grandpa."

Feng Cangkai looked at Feng Lingxi, "Girl, you better not be lying to me"

"Grandpa didn't win the first round against Xier, did he"

Feng Cang Kai's beard was about to blow up, at the beginning of this, Xi Er did say she wouldn't, but this person, does he have to learn so quickly

Xi'er is gifted and learns quickly.

Under the Dugu City, looking at Feng Ling Xi's helpless face, his eyes became even more gentle.

Feng Lingxi was afraid that Dugu City would discover her strangeness, so she intentionally let the water go. In this game, Feng Lingxi lost to Dugu City. However, it was precisely by letting the water go that Dugu City noticed something was wrong.

Even Feng Cangkai beside him became dissatisfied.

"Girl, you're letting water out too obviously! When dealing with grandpa, you didn't hold back at all. What is this, a floodgate"

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng staring at her, and smiled, explaining, "Grandpa, your skills are too poor. How could my chess skills compare to his" After Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she stood up and stretched.

"It's getting late, why don't we go to the front hall and pay our respects to the Empress"

This wind and rain made Xi angry with her grandfather's words, she didn't know what to do.

I'm afraid she might turn against grandpa when the time comes. He's old, and no matter what, he has to yield to age.

She didn't want, Yumo hadn't returned yet, Grandpa was harmed by Feng Yu Xi.

This family is rare for Feng, having someone who makes her feel warm. She wants to protect him and also wants to be his protection.

"Whatever she does, I get angry just seeing her. I'm not going."

Feng Cangkai's face changed instantly, Dugu Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Feng Lingxi, "What happened"

Wind Lingxi spoke softly, Du Gucheng looked at Feng Cangkai, and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, the Empress's power in the court is not to be underestimated. Grandpa should still be careful with his words."

"So, you don't think she would still dare to kill me"

Feng Cangkai finished speaking, and he immediately saw Feng Lingxi nodding at him, which almost made him furious.

"Grandfather, the current situation doesn't require us to clash with her so fiercely. Empress Dowager is not planning anything against her for now." Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment before speaking, but in her heart, she was already calculating. If Yu Xi intended to harm her grandfather, she wouldn't hesitate. She would rather allow Mo Huilan to become empress than let Yu Xi succeed.

It seems like it's necessary to meet with you in the wind and rain at sunset.

Although grandpa's words were unpleasant, there was one thing he said right: the General's Mansion is her shelter from the storm. If she even dismantles her own support system, how can she keep her position

You are just too kind. You always let her bully you without saying a word.

Feng Lingxi looked at her grandfather's angry face and whispered, "Grandpa, I'm going to the toilet."

"Xier, go quickly and return swiftly." Dugu City commanded. Watching her disappearing figure, he knew she was going to Feng Yuxi, but he didn't expose her. Xiao Li was right, Xier did things with her own measure and confidence, there was no need to interfere too much, just believe in her ability.

Because his Xi'er is far stronger than he imagined.

"Fourth Uncle, from now on, I might trouble you a lot more. I'm getting old, this trip back... who knows how much longer my bones can hold up." Feng Cangkai sighed heavily, his voice laced with resignation.

“Grandfather, Xi'er is the King's consort. I will take good care of her. Grandfather, for General Mansion, for Xi'er and Yumo, you should restrain yourself. Such provocation might cause the Empress to turn against you.”know what I mean."Lu Nian's voice carried a hint of displeasure. If it weren't for his sister protecting him, he wouldn't agree to live here."If I said that Xiaofeng and I were just ordinary friends,...
